Comments on: The Internet causes Global "shrinkage" http://www.lagesse.org/the-internet-causes-global-shrinkage/ "A true friend stabs you in the front" - Oscar Wilde Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:38:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: rob http://www.lagesse.org/the-internet-causes-global-shrinkage/comment-page-1/#comment-30481 rob Sun, 11 Nov 2007 20:20:20 +0000 http://lagesse.org/the-internet-causes-global-shrinkage/#comment-30481 @Geoff - when I was a mid-level manager the one thing I wanted more than anything (more than title or salary) was <i> a voice</i>. I wanted my company to hear me, and I wanted to know that they at least heard what I said. The Internet, and blogging especially, allows everyone to have a voice. And if they carefully choose how they use it, it can grow into global conversations with people you never could have otherwise known. Even if they did live in the same city. Finished the book this morning - a good read. I'll be handing some copies out to people in the future, I am sure. Now what's this about a second book? Subject? :lol: @Geoff – when I was a mid-level manager the one thing I wanted more than anything (more than title or salary) was a voice.

Guess Shel was right about the Global Conversation. It's nice to be a small business and feel enabled to compete. Thanks for the shout out, Rob, and I'm glad you liked the book.

Ike, and Scoble (both of the adult ones - I love Maryam to death!). And so many others. I've spent two years writing about whatever I felt about writing about. Things that make me happy, piss me off, amaze me, interest me, infuriate me - and along the way I have met more friends than I could mention. I live in the global world - I talk with people from numerous countries every day - and they all seem <i> so close to me</i>. Many of them I will never meet, yet many of them I consider friends. I was just lucky that you were located in the same city as me! @Kami – yes. Ike, and Scoble (both of the adult ones – I love Maryam to death!). And so many others.
